Manny Pacquiao has big plans for Saturday night — after his fight against Joshua Clottey. Pacquiao will be the guest of honor at his after-fight party, and plans to provide the entertainment.

Oscar De La Hoya believes Manny Pacquiao will have an “easy time” of it against Joshua Clottey this weekend – but is not so sure the Filipino can beat Floyd Mayweather Jnr if the two modern greats ever meet in the ring.

A bloodied Paul Smith retained his British super-middleweight title with a unanimous points victory over Tony Dodson in a gruelling encounter at the Liverpool Echo arena.

Antonio Margarito (37-6, 27 KO’s) says in an article at the Los Angeles Times he plans on attending this Saturday’s fight between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, because he wants to set up a fight with Pacquiao in the future. Margarito, 31, hasn’t fought since losing his World Boxing Association welterweight title to Shane Mosley in January 2009. Before the fight, a plaster-like substance was found on his hand wraps. Margarito later on lost his boxing license to the California Athletic Commission.
